Across each of the areas that make up the Tees Valley CCG patch, a variety of methods have been used to effectively engage with and connect the work of the CCG in that area to local patients, patient groups as well as voluntary and community partners.
The pages in this section relate to each of those approaches and the work that they will continue to undertake using their well-established networks in each area.
In Darlington you can find out about and get involved with their Community Council, delivered in partnership with Healthwatch Darlington.
In Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees, there is the Community Health Ambassadors that are delivered through partnership with Catalyst Stockton.
In Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland, specific patient group(s) exist to enable local patients connect with each other and with the CCG too.
